Social ecological resilience: a practitioners workbook (pdf 1.74mb)

This workbook provides concepts and activities to help practitioners involved in managing social-ecological systems understand the dynamic nature and behaviour of these systems.

It is designed to guide individuals or small groups through a process to assess the resilience of natural resource systems - that is, the capacity of the system to recover from disturbance - in order to guide environmental management planning.

The workbook can be used to help with: - Understanding resource use within specific areas
- Resolving specific resource problems (e.g. reconciling multiple uses or rehabilitating endangered species)
- Developing and implementing specific management goals (e.g. conservation, economic development, balancing tradeoffs)
